AI Thread Summary
A 22-year-old woman in Bergen, Norway, has been charged with raping a man in his late 30s, marking a notable case as it is the first of its kind in the police district. The incident involved another man who allegedly took photos during the attack and has been charged as an accessory. The discussion surrounding the case has sparked significant debate about the definitions of rape and consent, particularly regarding male victims. Some participants argue that a man cannot be raped by a woman, while others assert that any sexual act without consent constitutes rape, regardless of the genders involved. The conversation also touches on societal perceptions of male victims and the complexities of consent, especially in cases involving incapacitation due to sleep or intoxication. The dialogue reflects a broader struggle to understand and address sexual violence, emphasizing the need for serious consideration of all victims' experiences.

from the article:
The other man present at the scene, who lives in the flat, reportedly took photos of the attack. He also has been charged with being an accessory to a rape.
 
Maybe the "victim" just had a threesome or something, and his girlfriend found out, so he clamied it was not his choice at all.
 
Actually, it is not rape, it is a sexual assault. Apparently the guy was out cold on the couch and she unpacked his goods while the other took pictures.
 
He was probably asking for it.

Not only that, but he was maybe dreaming about it as well.. and probably liking it.
 
You can't rape the willing

How do you rate a guy?? Take his shirt off, expose his topless? Can't that be just a "oh I'm changing shirt for him"?

Or taking his pants off and blow him? which is not very likely...


I don't see how this case can be charged...

I don't know what the law is in norway, but in america i believe the law is that if anyone has sex with someone else without the other person having the ability to reject him or her (i.e. sleeping, drunk or drugged) then it is rape, not sexual assault.

It's impossible for a women to rape a man without his consent. All you nonbelievers out there need to bone-up on the facts.

Women who are raped often experience erect nipples, vaginal moisture, and orgasm...that doesn't mean she liked or wanted it - it meant nature did it's thing.

stop being a moron.

You know very little about this case. The victim was not willing at all. He was asleep on the couch. The woman was encouraged by the other man to do the action. Sick, sick and again sick. I hope she is sent to a mental insitution.

I've always been surprised by this fact. No wonder women have such a hard time enjoying sex again after rape.

i think it is quite possible for a woman to "rape" a man...and no, not all men would enjoy it, but could feel humiliated that he was taken advantage of...

Can someone cite a case where a women has been prosecuted and convicted of raping a man?
 
  • #25
This is an interesting situation, and if some of you would take it seriously for a moment, you would maybe learn something or other. Saying that you can't rape a man is like saying that a woman is asking for it, as far as I'm concerned.

There you go, there have been other cases, but many rape laws to not cover such a thing, and thus the women are charged with "sexual misconduct" and what not.

Statatory rape: a female high school teacher and male student were in the news some years ago.

I would add that even while in a coma it is possible to have an erection. I think Tsunami will back me up on this.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but I've been told that in some states an erection legally constitutes "consent". I hope that I was missinformed on this, because such a law is not only ignorant, but criminal.

I remember some years ago that I’ve read an article about gay being raped in England London by two girls. Mechanism: They meet the guy in some night club drugged him took him into hotel apartment tied him gave him Viagra and the “party” started. Girls were in early twenties, and that wasn’t the first time they done it. Guy reported everything to newspapers but he didn’t sue them (btw he described them as beautiful:)).

Good point. On TV in Norway this week they discussed if a man should accept or tolerate more than a woman with respect to this case. What do you think about that? I think NO because the man's privates are not just something anyone can touch and all men are as sexually sensitive as women when it comes to such cases. Of course this victims cares, of course he was disgusted and the shame will come to him just as it comes to anyone else. A psychologist mentioned in this TV programme that men dream of being seduced by women - maybe even raped - but that is a DREAM!

And to whoever said that women have orgasm and all that while being raped - don't count me in it allright? I WOULD NOT! and you have a zero of knwoledge to say that whether you have heard it or read it.

That could indicate that it was not REALLY a rape. But whatever. To hell with him.

But he didnt consent to having sex with them, and was not able to make decisions due to his drugged state. They had to use viagra to get him in a suitable condition. Rape is sex without consent of both parties, the drugged guy didnt give consent therefore it is rape. Whether he found them attractive or not or decided not to sue doesn't stop it being a rape case. Remember many women are raped and don't tell anyone or press charges. As a male rape it is not taken seriously as a case by the courts and so his decision not to take it further may have been to do with the fact that it would not get anywhere.

I clearly see your point. That what those two girls di to him was disgusting. Wholly and solely disgusting. Rather they should go to hell. Hope they do.

No that was not sarcasm. It was very sincere and honest. Don't worry. And it is a good proof that body language is important in communication.:smile:
